Potty training is one of the most frustrating parenting experiences I've faced, but I still can't muster even a fraction of an ounce of empathy for Robin Greinke, 26, an Illinois woman, who along with her boyfriend beat her 3-year-old son to death because he wet his pants. Once they were finished, and he lay nearby dying, they ate a pizza and watched a movie.
Greinke and Steven Neil, 33, admitted that they took turns beating the boy for more than an hour after he had an accident February 8 while they were visiting Florida. "They were upset with him and they tossed him and spanked him and punched him," a homicide investigator told Central Florida News 13.
After enjoying themselves with the pizza and movie, Greinke finally called 911 around 5 a.m. to say her son, Noah Fake, was wheezing, and she couldn't sleep. She couldn't sleep. No one with even a hint of a conscience possibly could, but apparently she has none.
If it was a rash incident, it wouldn't make it any better, but at least there would be a tiny hint of understanding of how someone can snap. Potty training can be brutal, but this? This is truly one of the most horrific, unconscionable acts against a child by his own mother I've come across. It makes me physically ache to think about what this child endured.
I just can't imagine what cold, callous people these individuals must be, and what an awful life this boy must have led during the years he was alive. With a mother like that, I can't imagine they were anything but awful. I don't want to believe he's better off dead, but he would likely be better off anywhere than in the care of a woman who could not only kill, but sit by and chow down on dinner afterwards. Monster is the only word for someone like that, and no alcohol or drugs or anything else can provide even a hint of an excuse for these actions.
The couple has been charged with aggravated child abuse, child neglect, and first-degree murder. Greinke was denied bail on Saturday and remains in jail and on suicide watch. I hope they watch her closely, because she doesn't deserve such an easy escape from her actions.
While I don't support the death penalty, it's cases like this that make me question that stance. I hope whatever punishment they face is as severe as the law allows and that they never get to enjoy a piece of pizza or view a movie ever again.
What punishment do you think is fitting for this couple?

The least they should be taken out and allow grown adults to beat then them to the point of death and just leave them in a puddle of their own blood to struggle to grasp their own last breaths. As a Mother this is completely unconscionable! We are supposed to do everything in our power to protect our young, after all it is even a primal instinct one should possess. All I can say is they are scum!
They both deserve a slow and painful death, not the quick injection they give after years and years of living off of taxpayers in prison but a VERY SLOW horribly unbearable painful death the makes her beg to just be killed....WTF is WRONG with all these mothers lately?!?!
I feel a very strong urge to go hug and love on my kids now. These people will get what is coming to them and I hope that they are given the maximum punishment that the law in Illinois allows. Rest in peace sweet boy. There are so many people on this earth that love you even though we never knew you.
OMG I'm just absolutely sickened by such a horrid act. I just can't imagine anyone, let alone a mother, doing this to an innocent child. Honestly, I think the death penalty is too good for them, but I don't think we, on earth, have a severe enough punishment for something like this. Thankfully, they will be judged by God and will suffer the consequences one day. And thankfully the boy no longer will suffer at their hands.
If they ever make it to a cell, they should be put with the biggest, meanest cell mate who miss their own kids so bad, so they'll get some of their own medicine. Then give the mean cell mate a big pizza!
